THRONE TOGETHER

When Game of Thrones launched back in 2011, Sophie Turner—she plays Sansa Stark, then a good girl keen to marry a prince—and Maisie Williams—her role is as Sansa’s sister, Arya, then a tomboy with a penchant for swordplay and getting into scrapes— were 15 and 14 respectively.

While their sibling characters followed separate, eventful, dramatic and perilous paths (and haven’t shared a scene since Season 1), Turner and Williams, now all grown up in their 20s, have forged a rock-solid friendship that has lasted through the seasons. They even look set to outlast winter. (For more on Sophie Turner, see p. 38.) Shane Sutton, Editor editor@who.com

“I came out and said to my mum, ‘Even if I don’t get the part, I really want that girl to. She’s really cool,’ ” Williams (left) said of meeting Turner at the auditions.

Last year the pair got matching tattoos: “07.08.09,” the date they were both hired for GOT.

“It’s really lovely to have someone to hold my hand through this,” Williams said of Turner. “She’s like my big sister.”

Even Anna Kendrick, snapping them at the Golden Globes this year, called the pair (here wearing matching Halloween “hash brownies” costumes) “bananas cute.”

“Mr and Missbehaving,” Turner captioned this post, adding in their friendship name, “#mophie.”
